Quiet an improvement!
I've been back at least a couple of times since my last review and they have gotten significantly better!
The last visit before the most recent was last summer with out of towners, and even then, there was much improvement. Came through for a surprise party this time around and staff was really on it!
Hubbers and I deliberately came through early so we can put in our food and drink orders right before the set "surprise" time. Beers were served immediately and we were given a number for our goodies. And it wasn't long before they were on our table, either.
GUAC AND CHIPS: Chips were fried fresh. The guac was made fresh as well and seasoned well. Great starter.
TRES TAQUITOS: Comes with small sides of beans, salsa and rice. Taquitos were on a bed of lettuce, cotija and crema. They were fried fresh, evident by how warm (almost hot-ish they were. Fillings were delish, but I felt could use a bit more seasoning. Overall great, though.
HERD G.O.A.T. FRIES: Made to order fresh, it was really REALLY good. For a personal preference, I felt it could be better f the driest were sliced a little thinner and fried a bit longer. But the garlic and salt levels were on point.
HERD ONION RINGS: This was perfect. The batter was seasoned well, the sauces were nothing more than sidekicks which weren't necessarily needed.
FOOD: 4.5.
SERVICE: 5. Not only was the food and drink service perfect, but the rest of the staff were as well. For specifics, there's a gentleman going around delivering water (even if we didn't ask for it) checking on customers to make sure they're doing okay, doing clean up duty on plates and utensils no longer in use, AND! He volunteered to take our group picture. When he wasn't happy with the first shot, he took it upon himself to move heater lamps and got on a high chair just to get a better (and it was awesome!) shot.
VALUE: 4.5.Above reasonable, for sure.
PARKING: Shared with Target and Ralph's. Not an issue.
OVERALL: 4.75.
Did I mention you get a free order of churros upon Yelp check-in? (Didn't get the chance to take a picture, our party included little girls who got to - and thoroughly enjoyed them - before I got the chance!)
I know: I should have done an update on the prior visit, but I wanted to check on consistency. Although the last two visits were far between, consistency was on point! They really got it down these last two times. They can certainly count on future visits from here on out!
